CREATE TABLE MyNewTbl as (SELECT DISTINCT myField FROM MyOldTbl) WITH DATA Mark Walter Senior Programmer/Analyst IBM Certified RPG Developer Hainey Business Systems (717) 771-2362 mwalter@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.hbs-inc.com -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 11:19 AM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Extracting distinct rows into a new file via SQL Can I use SQL to create a table from another table but without duplicate records? I've got a one-field file that has numbers like 140645 140647 140647 140647 140648 140648 I can do a SELECT DISTINCT * FROM ORDERLIST to get 140645 140647 140648 140649 but I would like to either put these into a new file or delete the dups from the original file. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
